2009 has been a pretty smooth-sailing year. I fell short in some areas, but I think I didn’t screw up too badly. I experienced some independency (financially), got a job/lost a job, turned 21, feared growing up, enjoyed travelling to a few places and making new friends.

Unemployment has caused me to be nocturnal once again. Martin was gonna pick Sean, Nique and I up at 8.30 A.M. and I was so afraid to sleep the night before, so I was running on one cup of coffee and as many cigarettes I could lay my hands on. I think we were all too excited for cheap M’sian cigarettes (they cost about half the price as S’pore’s), so all 4 of us had none.

Nique was the first to drive while Martin took a nap. That left Sean with us, and us can get really annoying with no sleep and this song on repeat.

Martin took over when we got deeper into M’sia.

Stopped for petrol! Nique wanted to try pumping it herself.

In this cool tunnel in KL to counter any flooding that may occur.

First mall we stopped by — KLCC.

Crews Hunted, hehe. I saw another that said Vacancy Wanted.

Nique & Martin!

Yay Toys’R’Us!

Everyone was excited about Twister. Martin suggested for us to play when we are drunk. No thank you!

Auntie Anne’s halo!

Stopped by A&W for lunch!

I think A&W closed down in Singapore for a decade or more?

Next stop — Pavillion.

Lots of branded shops and luxurious cars! I wish Singapore had more humorous carplates like this one.

Drove up to Johor Bahru, Malaysia yesterday with Martin and Sean. Martin’s parents bought a house at Horizon Hills and we went to take a look!

Neighbourhood was really quiet, and predicted to stay this way even when people have moved in. It was a pretty neighbourhood too. Like Wisteria Lane, without housewives.

Martin with his new 2nd home!

We sat in this room and discussed musical instruments. We learnt that a recorder isn’t a very affordable instrument. Apparently there’s one that costs a million yen.

Martin showed us around the clubhouse. The pool is really big, it was quiet and relaxing, and was a tempting treat under the hot sun. A pity we didn’t bring any swimming wear.

It was much blue-r in real life.

I was really tempted, but not that desperate.

We went to a mall after, bought cheap tees, ate Nando’s and had dinner at a kelong. It was a fun one-day trip. Perfect for Nique who just finished her exams/ started work today. I always enjoy travelling with Nique. Sean & Martin are really fun and intellectual people to hang out with as well.

Same people, KL, next weekend! It’s gonna be awesome!

Where is it?!
